** Port marked as IGNORE: graphics/png:
        is forbidden: vulnerable to remote buffer overflow
--->  Listing the results (+:done / -:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
        - graphics/png (marked as IGNORE)
--->  Packages processed: 0 done, 1 ignored, 0 skipped and 0 failed

There is a potential security problem with that version of png. You can read about it here.

You can wait for the fixed version to be released in ports--might be soon, might take a few days--or you can override the safety with NO_IGNORE (see the ports man page).
